Matthew Barzun, a former Lincoln resident who is now U.S. ambassador to Sweden, will give up his diplomatic post to work for President Barack Obama's reelection bid by overseeing what could be the country's first $1 billion White House campaign, The Boston Globe has learned.

Barzun, a 40-year-old Harvard College graduate, will serve as national finance chairman for Obama for America, the president's Chicago-based campaign committee. He is replacing Penny Pritzker, the Chicago billionaire who helped raise nearly $750 million for Obama's 2008 campaign.

HE WILL DO MANY, MANY GREAT THINGS FOR THE COUNTRY. JUST LOOK AT HIS EMPIRE. HE USES HIS NAME TO LICENSE EVERY PRODUCT FROM A PYRAMID SCAM TO QUESTIONABLE "UNIVERSITY" AND SO ON. IF HE IS ELECTED PRESIDENT HE CAN HELP BY SELLING PYRAMID BS TO THE REST OF THE WORLD AND WE ALSO TAKE OIL, TELL THE CHINESE LISTEN YOU MOFOS YOU PAY 25% O.K.

Considering the fact that unions are turning their backs on Obama and Wall Street is doing the same and the FEC is investigating Obama's poorly documented small dollar donations, it may be a bit premature to assume Obama will raise that much cash.

How soon ye morons forget. Remember all that talk about allowing foreign born naturalized citizens to be allowed to run for Presidency. Of course at the time b/c they had Ahnold the Terminator. He was a conservative so anything gos. just like they do in public washrooms only to go to church on the weekend and condemn the very down low life style they follow. Why not just vote for that combed over freak he will surely ruin the Country. I dare any tea bagging moron to vote for him.
